Fez Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 All things considered, that sounds about right considering that the jostling won't really start until after the midterms. Though to me the real news isn't that Oprah is already pulling 20%, it's that neither Biden or Sanders is starting out as a presumptive nominee. It makes sense for Biden I guess, he didn't run last time and hasn't actually said he'll run this time yet; but clearly a lot of Sanders' supporters are also keeping their options open.

Fragile Bird Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I watched the Martin Luther King signing ceremony this morning, wondering if someone would say something about 45's comments. No one did, but I couldn't blame them. They must have been really torn between wanting the attention on MLK and wondering what King would have said to the president. Reporters who were present immediately asked for comments, asked him if he was a racist, but he just walked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Here’s one of the reports I mentioned above. Trump asked an American born Asian intelligence analyst where “your people” come from. After she said her parents were from Korean, Trump turns and asks why isn’t the “pretty Korean lady” working on the North Korean situation. You can’t make this stuff up: https://www.vox.com/world/2018/1/12/16885546/trump-asian-american-intelligence-briefing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's such a shit he could turn around and cancel the National Park status for King's birthplace? Afterwards King's nephew was asked if he thought 45 was a racist, and he said no, not in the traditional sense, but that he was a racially ignorant man, and a few other things. I guess he was trying to be diplomatic. But really, I suspect they wanted the day to be a positive day in King's memory, not a shit slinging event. I don't know what he meant by traditional - that he doesn't wear a white hood and carry a torch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordos Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Discliamer: I'm going to make sarcastic remarks here so don't take it literally. Should I go around badgering American expats here in Indonesia asking them why they are residing in a shithole? Why am I here? Well, it's not like I have a choice with people like Drumpf running things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't "traditionally" racist because he doesn't have an ideology about it -he just evaluates people he has no personal contact with in terms of how much similarity he sees between himself and them, with race probably being no more important than gender or income in his evaluation. He is "ignorant" of both racist and anti-racist intellectual arguments, like he is of almost everything else. And if he has personal contact with you, his main evaluation is based mostly on whether you agree with him or praise him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
